    Good luck trying to decide what direction to go. I would by at three coupes.
    That way you could not go wrong. Couple of my favorites. Not 51s but they
    are coupes.......

    Happy Trails,

    Something about the rear window on the black one posted above doesn't sit right with me. I dunno if it's just me but the rear window looks like it was laid back at the wrong angle. It almost looks to "flat" compared to the rest of the top. Maybe it's just me ??

    I am not a fan of chop tops in general...most look out of proportion to me. This one looks like something collapsed in the middle from the different angles.

    But that is just me...I see very few chops that I like. I know they are a lot of work and I respect the guys that do them because i could never do it...but I just like the tops stock 99% of the time.

    Great looking cars, I think they look really good lowered and unchopped, the whole time I had my 54 I secretly wished it was a few years earlier ha ha

    same for the '53 I had :rolleyes:

    The 49-52's have way better body lines, and they also lend themselves to chopping better. Chopped '54/'54 Chevs rarely do much for me

    I love the coupe porportions. Can some one give me a measurement of how long the quarter windows are.
